Internationally acclaimed artist Sydnéi SmithJordan, whose work has appeared in exhibitions across the US and Europe and in the collections of cultural icons such as Denzel Washington, Whoopi Goldberg and Sylvester Stallone, has launched her most ambitious project to date: The Legacy Link Mobile Art Studio.

The 32-foot converted RV is a traveling classroom designed to deliver art as a tool for healing, connection and storytelling directly into communities. 

Renowned for her bold “pop fusion” style melding oil paint with collage, fabric, glass and metal, the Durham, North Carolina-born, Cape May area resident has long used her practice to surface overlooked narratives in history — from Negro League baseball players and Tuskegee Airmen to notable American women and a growing series honoring veterans. 

With The Legacy Link, she brings that mission beyond gallery walls, offering interactive workshops that empower individuals of all ages to explore creativity as a form of restoration and dialogue. 

The next stop on The Legacy Link’s journey is Airfest 2025, the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum’s popular event, which opens Thursday, Aug. 28. 

There, from Aug. 28 to Aug. 30, SmithJordan will guide participants through hands-on projects while surrounded by historic aircraft and tributes to America’s servicemen and women. 

“Art has always been more than a career for me — it’s been a lifeline,” SmithJordan said. “The Legacy Link is about sharing that same possibility with others: the chance to heal, to preserve memory and to find joy through creativity. 

“Wherever this studio parks, I hope it leaves behind not just artwork, but a renewed sense of connection,” she added. 

SmithJordan’s international reach includes exhibitions in Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and Germany. 

In recognition of her contributions, ArtTour International Magazine named her among the “Top 60 Masters” and most recently honored her as an “Art Titan,” a rare designation shared by only a handful of other artists worldwide.
